ESSA WNR on the Choptank, July 3, 2019

Summary: The current was stronger than the wind. 

Many thanks to the Committee Boat for their efforts on a difficult evening on the Choptank.

So what happens if there is no wind?

The following are excerpts from our WNR NORSI,
(Notice of Race and Sailing Instructions)

Click here for printable copy of NORSI

There will be three series of six races as follows:
 First Series:      May 8, 15, 22, 29; June 5, 12.
 Second Series:  June 19, 26, July 3, 10, 17, 24
 Third Series:    July 31, August 7, 14, 21, 28, September 4.
 Fall Series:        September 8, 15, 22, (Sundays, 10 AM, 2 races/day)

            No make-up races will be held.  


2.7       Three boats in a class must sail to make a race.  Races with fewer than three boats will not be scored.  Four races are required to constitute a Series.  There will be one discard in each Series.  A boat serving as stationary committee boat will receive the average points of the others counted races in that series.

5.4       Time Limit:  The first boat in each class must finish within 90 minutes of the starting signal. Subsequent boats in each class must finish within 45 minutes of the first boat in the class to finish.  For boats still racing when time expires (and at least one boat has finished within the limit) they shall be scored DNF. No sound signal will be made. Time will be determined by GPS. This modifies rules 35 and A11. 

5.6.5   If a race is abandoned due to weather by the RC, it will not count in that Series.   

5.7     If necessary, the RC may shorten a course at any mark utilized in the race that evening.  The shortened course flag should be flown and announced on VHF 67. 


Sometimes still air is a nice thing.

SAVE THE DATES, JULY 19, 20, 21, 2019

CALLING ALL ESSA SAILORS... 
I REPEAT... 
CALLING ALL ESSA SAILORS

Registration is now open for CYC's Admiral Byrd Regatta; 


Things are really getting exciting in anticipation of the 108th Admiral Byrd Regatta at Cambridge Yacht Club, July 19 through the 21st.  We’re expecting 40-50 boats to race that weekend including PHRF boats as well as at least five one design classes.

On Friday 7/19 afternoon/evening, Opti’s will race followed by team Laser racing.  Later that evening in the Gazebo we’re bringing Charles Kavoossi over from Annapolis.  Charles is more than just a singer/songwriter.  As a multi-instrumentalist with a passion for composing, his songs pack unique and technical experiences between catchy choruses that are bound to get stuck in your head.  He’ll certainly be playing our favorites as well.

Saturday the PHRF boats along with the Hampton, Comet, and Shield one design classes will race starting in the morning.  There are several other one-design fleets considering and certainly, it’s not too late to get your favorite group involved!

We’re doing it straight up proper with two accredited PROs working with us from Eastport Yacht Club and two accredited protest judges also coming from Annapolis. 

Saturday evening will feature Gazebo libations and grub (dinner comp’ed for Captains), trophy presentations, not to mention the widely acclaimed and known Big Money Band who always rock the house with an exciting blend of Electric Blues, Classic Rock and Country, Soul, Oldies, and Old School R & B.  A guaranteed good time!

Sunday we round out the weekend with a ten-mile pursuit race down river to the Spider at the mouth of the Tred Avon River.  You’re not going to want to miss this weekend!

OH!  We should mention that weekend we’ll also be celebrating the 50th anniversary of that “Giant Leap for Mankind!”

Details and registration information (which is now open), can be found at CambridgeYachtClub.org or by contacting the Regatta email at CYCMDRegatta@gmail.com

Thanks,

Trevor Carouge

NOW HEAR THIS! a message from the Choptank Fleet Captain

Good afternoon Choptank Fleet!


I am pleased to announce that with the help of spinnaker and non-spinnaker boats alike, a new course menu has been established, and is forthcoming. The course number will be announced on the VHF, but may also be displayed on a course board. Make it a habit to sail past the committee boat to check in regardless. Doing so will also enable you to see if any custom courses are displayed. The committee boat will continue to have the authority to make custom courses should the conditions warrant. With the help of Eric Johnston and others, I am working on an alternative ‘text option’ for receiving that evening’s race course - more to come.

In addition to the new race courses, you will also see a randomly chosen (from a hat) list of boats who will serve as race committee in the event that no race committee boat or captain is available that week. Please review this list (see below), and confirm dates with your calendar and crew. For scoring purposes, your boat will be given an average (George is the wizard on this front). Check your anchor gear in preparation.

The Cambridge Yacht Club continues to support ESSA in every way possible. Last week they approved the use of their club tender for ESSA committee boat purposes. They also wanted me to report that any ESSA member who for whatever reason cannot get their boat(s) home that evening may tie up to the pier no questions asked until they are able to return safely. Furthermore, if you are bringing your boats from TAYC, feel free to bring them a day or so early and tie up at the club. Simply contact me beforehand so that I can give the club a heads up.

Your patience through some of these changes is much appreciated. I am looking forward to series two!!!

Your fleet Captain,
